SELECT > SELECT OBJECT (not working on masked/nested objects)


Recommended Posts

Hello!

The problem I'm encountering is that Affinity Designer V2's select object feature doesn't work like V1.

For example, I want to select all the SHAPES in my document, I use the SELECT > SELECT OBJECT > SHAPES command and it only selects the shapes in the highest hierarchy.

All the shapes that are masked inside or children of another shapes would not be selected.

IMG 1: I created a dummy file consisted of multiple rectangles and curves

sample file

 

IMG 2: SELECT > SELECT OBJECT > SHAPES

select > select object

 

IMG 3: All shapes (except the ones nested / children of the parent shapes) are selected.

highest hierarchy only selected

 

 

MY SYSTEM:

- Macbook Pro M1

- MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c)

- Affinity Designer V2.1.1

 

 

WHY FIX THIS:

- The feature ain't working the expected way. V1 doesn't behave this way.

- I use this feature because I work on complex vector art which require me to do multiple masking. If I need to make sure that all shapes with rounded corners are baked, selecting shapes this way would save a lot of time.

- This behavior ain't isolated in SHAPES. Other categories are affected as well as long as they're nested.

 

 

I hope this issue gets fixed ASAP.

MORE POWER SERIF TEAM!
